SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters PatentNo. 606,758, dated July 5,1898. i

'Application filed May-8, 1897.y :Serial Nol` 6325.628. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern,.- Be it known that we, PHILIPP DoFLEIN andKASPAR BILLING, citizens of the United States,res`idiug inthe city andcounty of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new anduseful Improvement in Non-Refillable Bottles, which improvement is-fully set forth in the following specification and accompanyingdrawings.

ur invention consists of an improved construction of non-refillablebottles, the novel features of which will be hereinafter set forth, andpointed out in the claims.

Figure 1 represents a side elevation of a non-refillable bottle, theneck of the latter being shown insection. Fig. 2 represents a Fig. 3represents a sectional view similar to Fig. 2,

the walls of Lthe shell and permit the passage of fluid around the'edgesof the valve when the latter is away from its seat F. The movement ofthe valve away from its seat is limited by the shoulders T, projectingfrom the walls of the chamber E into the latter.

An annular packing P surrounds the upper part of the shell and is heldin place by the shoulders Q and R. A packing S also surrounds the lowerend of the shell.

The operation of the device is as follows: After its component partshave been assembled the stopper is forced into the neck of the bottle.By reason of the head N 'it can be driven to such a distance into theneckand held therein by the packing so as to prevent any tampering withthe same. l

When the bottle is in an upright position, as shown in Figs. l and 2,the valve G will be in register with the seat F, and thereby close thepassage E2, leading from the chamber E into the interior of the bottle.When the valve is insuch a position, it is obvious that no liquid can beintroduced into the bottle. The valve is held in position by the weightK.

When the bott-le is in an inverted position, the valve leaves its seatby reason of its Weight and that of its connections and rests againstthe shoulders T. The edges L also contact with the wall M. By thismovement of the valve the passage E2 is opened, and the liquid containedin the bottle passes through the grooves N and the passage E2 into thechamber E. It then passes around the edge of the valve through the portsD into the opening C and out through the passage C. In its movements thevalve is guided by the extension H and the stem J.

It is to be observed that the diameter of the head N is less than thatof the neck of the bottle, so as to permit a free passage of the liquidaround the same.

When the bottle is returned to its upright position, the valve registerswith its seat and again closes the passage leading to the interior ofthe bottle.

Having thus described ourinventiomwhat we claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a non-reiillable bottle, a shell having emptied.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in thefigures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates the neck of a bottle of anyconstruction suitable in the premises, in which the. stopper is mounted.

The stopper consists of the shell B, secured in the upper portion of theneck. A longitudinal passage O leads from a transverse passage O throughtheupper end of the shell into the chamber E. The transverse passage Cleads through the h'eadN to the exterior of the shell. The chamber E isconnected with the interior of the bottle by the passage E2. In theupper end of the passage E2 a valveseat F is formed. In the chamberE ismounted the valve G, adapted to register with the valve- H, located inthe passage C and adapted to move therein. Projecting from the lowerportion of the the passage E2. A Welght or member K is attached to thelower end of the stem J and has its edges L chamtered or beveled. Thesaid edges are adapted to contact with the lower wallM of theshell andare provided with the grooves N to permit the passages of `iiuid betweenthe edges and the wall where the latter are in contact. Y

Ports D lead from the chamber E through intermediate their upper andlower walls to arrest the valve midway said ports when the bottle isinverted.

A non-refillahle bottle having in its neel( 2 5 a shell with chamberand-longitudinal pasi sages and lateral ports with ashoulder formedtherein intermediate their upper and lower walls, packing about theupper and lower parts of the shell, and a valve in said eliam- 3o berand adapted to elose the inner longitudinal passage when the bottle isin its normal position and having a portion extendinginto said ports tohe arrested midway the lateral ports by said shoulder when thebottle isin- 35 voi-ted.
